1 Scope
This part of IEC 60286 is applicable to stick magazines (including end stoppers) intended to be
used for storage of electronic components, for transport from the manufacturer to the customer
and for in-house use in the manufacturing plant. They are also used to feed automatic
placement machines for surface mounting as well as for through-hole mounting of electronic
components.
2 Normative references
The following documents, in whole or in part, are normatively referenced in this document and
are indispensable for its application. For dated references, only the edition cited applies. For
undated references, the latest edition of the referenced document (including any amendments)
applies.

mechanism placed at each end of the stick magazine to keep the devices from falling out of the
stick magazine
Note 1 to entry: Alternative terms such as pins, plugs, end plugs, nails, retainers etc. may be used, but for the
purposes of this standard "end stopper" shall be used.
3.2 Conventions

tables and figures representing angles or radii are in degrees.

Customized form
IEC 1734/13
Internal stick magazine configuration shall be such that the individual component is protected
from damage, maintains a fixed orientation and slides freely when one end is elevated at a
minimum angle of 30°.
As magazine material over time is changing, the level of elevation of 30° may not be sufficient
for freely sliding of components. In this case, to allow proper transition of the component from
the magazine to a horizontal surface, the level of elevation should be kept to a minimum.

5.1 General
Because the shape of the cross-section varies, the controlled distance tolerances should
conform to the values in Table 1, Table 2 and Figure 2. This table provides the tolerances to
the package profile dimensions, which is a summary of the tolerances for various standard
outlines (see Annexes A, B and C).

5.2 Materials
The material shall be conductive, static dissipative or antistatic (a measuring method and
requirements are under consideration).
The loaded magazines shall be suitable to withstand transport and storage without danger of
giving off vapours or of contaminating the surface of the terminations, which could make
soldering difficult or deteriorate the component properties or terminations by chemical action.
As a minimum, the component device type, manufacturer's name or trade mark and date code
shall be legible without removal of the components from the stick magazine. Where the stick
material is not transparent, a suitable window or a series of windows/holes shall be provided
for inspection purposes.
5.3 Recycling
Stick magazines should be made of recyclable material. When such material is used the
magazine shall be permanently marked with the recycling symbol.
The end-stoppers should be of the same material as the stick magazine. This does not apply to
PVC-free type stick magazines, see Table 3.
6 Mechanical stability
The mechanical stability of a loaded magazine during storage, transport and use shall be such
that the components are adequately retained, without deformation of the terminations or other
damage, in order to maintain their orientation within the magazine, yet enabling them to be
easily removed.
The magazine, which should not exceed 530 mm in length, shall also be suitable for use with
automatic placement machines or test equipment, and should be capable of bending in the
length axis through a radius of 600 mm. They shall be so designed that they can be stacked in
the machines and shall not overturn.
BS EN 60286-4:2013
60286-4 IEC:2013 –9–
End stoppers may be used to close the ends of the stick magazines, and spacers may be used
to limit the movement of the components within the stick magazines.
a) They shall be of any suitable material, preferably recyclable. When such a material is used
and size permits, end stoppers and spacers shall be marked with the recycling symbol.
b) They shall be of static dissipative or antistatically-coated material, and spacers shall be of
adequate compliance to prevent component damage.
c) End stoppers shall stay in place at the ends of the magazines until they are intentionally
removed, and shall be easily removable to disperse the devices without damaging the stick
magazines.
Integrated circuit packages shall be put in stick magazines with the terminal No. 1 mark
orientation. The side with the mark has to exit first from the carrier.
When the packages are in the carrier and viewed from the top, the terminal No. 1 mark shall be
left or in the lower left corner, and component marking shall be readable from the left to right.
9 Marking
If the components are electrostatically sensitive and require special precautions during
handling, the magazines shall also be marked as required in Clause 8 of IEC 60747-1:2006,
Amendment 1:2010.

Annex D
(normative)
D.1 Overview
The users of integrated circuits which are supplied by different manufacturers need to have
integrated circuit packages oriented in a standard way in handling and shipping carriers such
as stick magazines and rails.
For this reason a rule is required to designate the orientations of the integrated circuit
packages relative to their stick magazines or rails and code mark in stick magazines or rails.
D.2 Rule
Integrated circuit packages shall be put in carrier packages such as stick magazines and rails
with the terminal No. 1 mark oriented so that the side with the mark exits first from the carrier.
When the packages are in the carrier and viewed from the top, the terminal No. 1 mark shall be
to the left or in the lower left corner, and marking shall be right side up and readable from the
left to the right.
Terminal No. 1 exits as first terminal of the row which contains terminal No.1 in case of
magazines containing packages like DIP (dual-line package), QUIP (Quad in-line package),
SOP (small outline package), FP (flatpack), QFP (quad flatpack), CCC (ceramic chip carrier),
or PGA (pin grid array),
or
the row which contains terminal No. 1 in its centre exits first, in the case of magazines
containing packages like PLCC (plastic leaded chip carrier), or CCC (ceramic chip carrier).
